Flourless peppermint Kiss-filled cakes recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup of HERSHEY’S Semi-Sweet Chips
• 3 whole eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 15 to 20 HERSHEY’S KISSES Candy Cane Mint Candies

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300
2. In a saucepan, heat the butter and cream over medium heat.
3. Place the HERSHEY’S Semi-Sweet in a heat proof bowl. As soon as the cream and butter mixture comes to a simmer pour it over the chocolate chips and allow to cool for a two or three minutes. Whisk together until the chocolate chips are completely dissolved into the cream. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl mix together the cornstarch, sugar and salt. Whisk in the eggs and the egg yolks followed by the vanilla.
5. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the other ingredients. Stir until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into a lined cupcake pan. Bake for 35 minutes.
7. While the cupcakes are baking unwrap the HERSHEY’S KISSES Candy Cane Mint Candies.
8. As soon as the cakes come out of the oven gently press a kiss into the top of each cake. They’ll melt into the cakes and leave a perfect Candy Cane chocolate center!
